Retailer Award Past Recipients

Will Eisner Spirit of Comics Retailer Award

Visionary comics creator Will Eisner approached Comic-Con International in the mid-1990s to create an award that recognized the incredible contributions of retailers to the comic book industry. He wanted to stress the crucial bond between creators, publishers and retailers in getting the books into the hands of the public. Comic-Con created the Will Eisner Spirit of Comics Retailer Award to honor those retailers in the United States and around the world, including Australia, Canada, Holland, Israel, and Spain.
